Django Unchained, like its director, has received its fair share of criticism, on everything from Tarantino’s painful cameo to the sheer amount of racial slurs dropped seemingly for the sake of it—a choice that led to acclaimed filmmaker Spike Lee calling Tarantino out, saying, “Quentin is infatuated with that word.” But despite, or maybe because of, the controversy surrounding it, Django Unchained remains somewhat of a cult classic, with an 87% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Centering on a slave named Django (Jamie Foxx), who finds himself on a mission to capture two men known as the Brittle brothers, he accompanies a German bounty hunter, Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) until their mission is successful. Schultz frees Django, and together they hunt the South’s most-wanted criminals. Eventually, they find themselves at the plantation belonging to Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), where they find Django’s wife, who is still a slave.
